In life, as in books, we have pages and chapters… some people feel comfortable reading/living on a page-basis, while others prefer to read/live on a chapter-basis. I.e. when you start reading a unit (page, chapter) you prefer to do it uninterruptedly.
A page in life could be any time dimension that you consider short enough as reading a page in a book. Better said the amount of time in which you could perform an activity uninterruptedly.
Before and while reading the desired unit (page, chapter) we often assess how much is left up to the next unit. Arguably, in reading nobody likes long chapters…maybe, we don't like long chapters in life either (e.g. a career or relationship), or it depends on the subject. Right?
